  1. Comment - Bing vs. Google face-off, round 2

    (Jun 3, 2009 - 7:39 PM)

    Wow. Your article made me want to give microsoft a chance again. So I typed into Bing: "700 church street SF CA."

    The results were ridiculous. Then I thought, maybe I need to click the "maps" link, since "web" was the default. At least then a few suggested locations were in California, though not in SF.

    Google, however, returns with the correct map on top whether I am in "maps" or "web" or whatever.

    Is it really too much to expect Microsoft to get that an address in front of SF means San Francisco? Google doesn't even need the "CA" clue. I guess I'll give Bing a few more tries but it still blows my mind how far behind they are.
